People create war for land, religion and between people.
Why We all have different beliefs, and we should all respect each others Religion

News in the past was passed by travellers - inn to inn and discussed  and argue the topic of the day.
.  If it was important enough the town crier shouted the news after ringing a bell.

then followed Samuel Pepys who wrote a 1 page news letter distributed to the public with pictures so people who
could not read understood the news sheet.  All the time the news on politics, king or Queen where discussed.

These days it is not just newspapers of different  genre to be discussed.  but television with programme on different subject to be discussed, argued, and let us join us in by telephone, text, and computer.

So have we gone to far and is it to easy to cause a war for religion, land and peoples ethic background

I completely agree with you.  Problem is much of the news these days is based on opinion, not fact and plays into peoples fears.  Most fear that which they do not understand...that is the whole basis of bigotry.  We are all so convinced our belief system is the right one, we don't bother to understand others may feel the same way about theirs.  So instead of trying to live together peacefully, we go to war.  And it's always the "other sides" fault.

   The ability to spread information of political importance throughout the world and stop political oppression has also occurred because of the development of new technologies. Before the invention of the printing press most people were illiterate. With radio and television people could hear and then see political debates directly and have a further knowledge of exactly what was happening. With the internet political oppression (such as in China) was less easy to stop because people were able to access direct real world information. What was seen 30 years ago only on satellite such as the Cuban missile crisis could now be easily be viewed on google earth. Warfare through various groups of different political and religious backgrounds hasn't really increased. I have read up on an exhibit I am seeing tomorrow (that is traveling the country) on the time of King Tut and there was much political intrigue and warfare then but also the development of new technologies, including in medicine and in science.
  With progress comes responsibility. Differing religious beliefs and political backgrounds often appear to be the cause of political infighting but there is usually an over riding economic concern. The need for sources of fuel especially oil is one of the causes of some of the current wars and within that area much of the infighting of some of the various countries is due to the shrinking water supply, both pointing towards the need for renewable resources which could with current technology be achieved. Many of the decisions as to how our society develops are within our power to change...
